Pavement ist RAD
Buying slanted & Ebnchanted and Westing By Musket & Sextant on the same day back in 1992-93 was an epiphany, and there is no way for anyone to know what that was like, what hearing those skreeskronk lofi masterpieces did to my brain. It was a breath of fresh air and was cryptic and insane.
they sounded like two dudes recording crap on a 4-track in their garage, which it turned out to be,
pavement ruled all
then they got rid of Gary Young.
Then they added their "classic rock drummer"
I always say, the drummer can change the tone of a band more than any other member except maybe the lead singer.
I like pavement after gary left, but it was not the same. his shambolic drumming perfectlyfit their slack-ass attitude.
I saw them play opening up for sonic youth opn the Pretty Fucking Dirty Tour and it was AMAZING

Gary did handstands
and before the show handed out cabbage/lettuce to the fans in line.
